Cutie

Wow! A picture of Cate looking at the camera without trying to grab at it! Now if only she was showing those little pearly whites....


Cate has only recently become quite a pro at crawling up on the couch, and now that she can do it, sometimes it's all she wants to do. She's pretty good at getting off the couch by herself, but we still worry because sometimes she crawls up on the couch and holds on to the back of it and starts jumping. Obviously we have some concerns about her launching off the couch and onto the floor backwards! But tonight she climbed up on the couch and just sat there. It was so sweet.

One final amusing story.... tonight after her bath, I called down to Rick to come up and help me while I trimmed Cate's toe nails. She goes nuts when you try to trim her nails (toes or fingers), and it sounds like someone is torturing her. It now requires two of us to pin her down, and by the time it's all over, she's literally red all over, tears everywhere, we're sweating, it's a great time. So tonight when we finished and she was still shrieking hysterically, I closed up the clippers and calmly handed them to her. The tears and screaming immediately stopped, she took the clippers, sat down on the bathroom floor, and started pretending to clip her own toenails. What a nut! ;)
